[QUOTE="Jaylee, post: 2187095, member: 101136"] I carry all I need for basic "running repairs" in an under bed box, stowed under the back seat of my van. Voltage meter, coolant system pipes repair tape. Socket set.. You name it. It's there. (Including a fold down shovel for snow, a device I fashioned to bypass the imobilizer & a 12v powered air compressor..) I have breakdown cover too. Never used it. But if it all wasn't there? You can bet yer last unit of insulin, it will be needed... My trusty old van has been everywhere.. (All over Europe.) But it's also had a regular service. ;) (& got us home.) Of course, where diabetes is concerned. It don't stop you following what you wish... Just be mindful to throw the tools in your pocket or bag.. "Testicles, spectacles" thing is more a superstitious ritual in "crossing" one's self when there is nothing else to back you up... Nice to see you back on the forum, by the way... :) [/QUOTE]
